The four members of The Thursday Murder Club (Elizabeth, Joyce, Ron and Ibrahim) are onto another cold case. These seventy and eighty-year-olds befriend a news anchor to see what he can share with them about the murder of his co-worker, Brittany, ten years ago, when her car went off a cliff. Brittany had been working on a massive VAT (value added tax) fraud case when this occurred. The scheme is thought to have made millions for someone. The Club delves into those who worked with Brittany, as well as those whom she may have been investigating, and tries to follow the money to figure out who else may have been involved in the case.
Meanwhile, Elizabeth has been receiving strange text messages from an unknown number, which indicate that she will soon be called upon to help this unknown person. When the time comes, she's given no choice but to kill someone or else her best friend will be killed. Will her work experience at MI6 allow for a positive outcome?
Between these two cases, and a few developing relationships, there is no shortage of surprises while new information is parceled out. Even when I think the story is getting wrapped up, the twists continue. It's a lovely British book for a mystery lover, and I eagerly await the next installment.
